Ripped off again by yet another russian palace - 500 rubles for tourists - that's $20 and no Rasputin tour - that was another $20 and only held once a day. Getting a bid fed up with this rip -off stance here. I think its just the Hermitage for me tomorrow and then it will be the museum and that is it for visiting places. Thre is enuf to see on the streets.
It poured today and that is really the first day. My French amie, Christalle is equally burned out and says she is looking forward to seeing some smiles on faces back in France. Whoever thought the French were rude should visit here.
On a positive note it is a truly great place to visit - if only Russia would clean up its act - in more ways than one!
Lox is cheap tho and good cakes and had blini today in a real restaurant with green tea for only 72 rubles - about $3.
Fancy coffee houses here too and fancy prices to go with them. Luckily there is a supermarket right across the street so I buy bread and cheese and veggies there and eat on my bed.
Catch y'all later
